Shinji Mikami is the dude responsible for such games as Resident Evil and God Hand. And now he's gonna work for Bethesda. Feels kinda.. Weird, man. Kinda weird.

At first I thought it was a studio -- people generally aren't 'acquired.' Well, at least not since the 19th century.

Wow.....

Welcome to the 21st century.

From Godhand to The Elder Scrolls 5... talk about a descent into hell.

 

[Luzur]

maybe TES 5 will now have Godhand kind of combat and RE camera views?

 

[Hobo Elf]

I'd rub feces all over myself if it did.

Fucking todd howard's band of cretins wedged between carmack and the resident evil guy.

 

[Felix]

Vanquish is , so now they can together.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Not to mention Shinji and Suda51's latest game, Shadows of the Damned, looking like total ass. I mean, really? That was the best they could come up with?

Jesus H. Christ. Bethesda is trying to conglomeratize everything.

 

[Erzherzog]

Uhh guys, it is a studio they acquired. Shinji runs his own game studio now.

Jesus H. Christ. Bethesda is trying to conglomeratize everything.

It will make our lives easier to filter through the endless amounts of shit on the market.

Great. Another sign the end is nigh.

So, does this mean we'll start seeing zombie mud crabs in future Bethesda games?

Beth probably saw all the asian faggotry modding to oblivion and fallout and thought that they might as well bundle it to the next iterations.

Need more nuke.

“It’s refreshing to find a publisher who understands, trusts, and supports the development of blockbuster games and works to make it a collaborative effort,” said Mikami. “The library of AAA franchise titles ZeniMax owns speaks for itself. We are very excited to be joining ZeniMax and working with a company that is dedicated to creating the best games ever made.”

:blah:

 

[treave]

Lost in translation.

 

[laclongquan]

Who is him?

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Shinji, you are dead to me.

That is all.

Jesus Christ faggots, it's just business - man's gotta eat.

There is something to be said with a mix of a Person like Shinji and a western developer.

Say you make something like a Bayoneta, Devil may Cry and God hand. Now if you mix that kind of gameplay with the raw power some western developers can put into a game you can have a really interesting and fun games.

Now the problem is that this is bathesda and they have no idea on how to write a good engine.
